Forgetting Who God Is – Opening Thoughts

Greetings Dear Reader,

We often hear about a person before we meet them. How someone else characterizes an individual
is going to be limited to his or her perspective. It will be coloured by opinion, background,
culture, and education. People will front load their opinions of
others.

So much of our view of God gets front loaded before we
really know him. We fail to give the
opportunity to be who he is. We fail to
see him for what he wants to be for us.
There are those who do not believe in him who mock him. There are those who misrepresent him who
claim to be his followers.

As a part of my preparation for advent I want to revisit
some of my thoughts on who God is. I
think we are so inundated with what culture says God is that we forget to
listen to who he says he is. We do not
get to know him.

As I walk through this I will attempt to lay aside the
filters of culture and presupposition.
Rather I will try to establish the presuppositions that God wishes us to
have. Walk with for a bit. Perhaps your thoughts can help clarify
mine.

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
